Please, don't send kick in the ass emails to Steve as he'll get his due
and the last thing you want to do is help him prove an assertation that
there is a general vendetta against him rather than genuine, objective
outrage at what he is doing.
This is an extremely important case as in no time in history do I know
of a precident that forces him to believe he doesn't have meteorites,
and I hate to break it, but unless intent can be shown on his part, his
defense of a conspiracy theory againt him would be really hard to beat
since in the US we have the presumption of innocence and many have
screws loose and still aren't insane.
There is no law regarding value of rocks, only regarding fraud, so that
is ambiguous category, and it would be civil, I'd make a huge guess.
I think this would be a great case for Judge Judy, though, since in her
courtroom, it is a courtroom of "equity" and there he would certainly
lose and be told off and provide lots of entertainment for years to
come for everyone including Steve. But IMO it would be the perfect
solution. I would recommend to the local prosecuter, that they get rid
of the case with as little publicity possible since that will only tend
to feed the monster, and just sentence an indefinite restraining order
regarding the sale, trade, gift, donation, or other conveyance of
minerals in general with special attention to meteorites until he can
provide to a court designated authority proof of authenticity who
accepts that.
Then, perhaps that decision could be used by anyone who has purchased
anything and would simply like their money back, and then if anyone
wrote off any taxes with meteorite donations, the IRS prosecutes with
their definition of fraudsters, which is much more relaxed than
criminal proceedings, and they always get the little guilty guys.
Kindest wishes.

Thinking back on all the outlandish claims and strange behavior that
Steve
Curry exhibited in the past, I think that his best defense in a court
of
law would be to claim insanity.

Hopefully, the prosecution will have a decent scientist as a witness

prove to the judge that Curry's rocks aren't meteorites, and
importantly that
Curry knew it.
Maybe one or two from this List have something to offer the court
case,
considering his history here.
We all know he won't plead guilty, and like all con-men I'm sure he's
very
convincing in his scam to a noob.

Steve Curry's ebay handle uncometeorites is "no longer a registered
user". Mr. Curry and I had a long, not-very-pretty email exchange a
few months
back, as I suspect a lot of listees probably did. At the beginning I
earnestly suggested that it would only be a matter of time and that for
his own
best interest.....well, I'm preaching to the choir here, any of you who
tried
to deal rationally with him probably got the same threats and
intimidation
and insults in return. Anyway, on the one hand it may not be
charitable to
pile on - on the other hand, for those of you who might want to take
this
particular opportunity to send him one last love note, as I did, (or
wish
him good luck with his trial, if you're so inclined) :) can do so at
link
below (if you're signed in to ebay) ..............as a non-registered
user
now, he may not get these messages, but then again, he may.
